I will say this Weather has persisted longer than I thought. Hopefully that stuff in Connecticut comes in in the next hour or two.

Maine is a great state. Love Maine.

You know, now that I DON'T want to see one (at Knoebels) we'll get one...

Keep telling folks that, so they won't move here and turn it into Massachusetts.

Well it was dry to answer his point.

Cumulus clouds starting to build around the mountains.

Scooter Sandbar and grille open and ready for all.

Onshore has ceased a. 74 / 69 brightening skies

The sun is here and I see large patches of blue skies now Don :-)

While parts of the area await the sun's breaking through the clouds, here's a distribution of high temperatures based on New York City's climate record when the low temperature was 63°. The NBM forecast range is in red and the forecast value is dark brown.

That was one of our last really great summers, the heat in 1999 almost matched 1953 in terms of longevity, truly a summer to treasure. I was disappointed that JFK only reached 100+ once (102 on the 5th), which is why I rank 2010 higher and completely unmatched (1966 had as many 100+ days but the heat didn't continue into August and September like it did in 2010.) However in terms of longevity of heatwaves 1999 is only exceeded by 1953. I don't believe it's a coincidence that we have an 11 year return period for the peak of extreme heat (1944, 1955, 1966, 1977, 1988, 1999, 2010.) Of course if you want to feel cool, Chris, all you need to do is jump in the water

what causes all this variability in recent heatwaves (since 2013) that keeps them short, Walt? Compared to much longer heatwaves for example in 1944, 1953, and more recently 1980, 1993, 1999, 2002, etc that lasted much longer. 1980 for example, we basically had a heat ridge sitting over our area for 3 months (June 20th through September 20th).

Looks temporary and not quite as strong but it will get into the 90s vcnty NYC (INLAND for sure again) at least several days between July 5-10. Seems to shift west after the 10th but part of the variability.

T-Storm watches hoisted until 8 pm for everyone W/N of Dauphin County

Yeah, working outside in that type of heat is brutal. I rode a few miles on the Long Beach Boardwalk back in July 1999 with 100° and a 75° dewpoint. It was pretty intense. But I actually enjoyed the 0° with 50 mph gusts in January 1985 more.

I can almost feel the heat from here.

He's likely set up the beach blankets right over the breakwater.

it's brightening up now, Tony :-)

Indeed- that's why I cherished getting over 40C/104F on the 24th lol. The other thing I like is how C and F are the same at -40 !!!!

If we were a metric country we'd have our 32.2C days and 37.7 C days

Scoot acting like he’s been living in South Beach on weekends this spring.

I wonder if this winter will be another case of the long wave pattern/forcing resembling a strong La Niña even though ENSO is in a cold-neutral or a weak La Niña state

Come south

Sick of this shit. Mother Nature ruining Saturday’s can kick rocks. What the F is the problem? Is it too much to ask for a dry Saturday or two?

It ain't going to be quick. Cheap highs late in the day.
